Step by step

Make o diagonal or horizontal branch for bird to sit on. 

Use contour lines to create birch lines on branches. Some extend all the way around the branch and some partly. Use curved lines to make the branches appear 3D. 

Add trees behind going vertically. 

Use the negative spaces inbetween branches to create color designs.
